Oh, no North and South DVD I see, but Cranford instead! I have the series waiting on my shelves as well. And some great books in there as well! Gaskell! And I'm very curious about the T-shirt. And a Persephone Diary? I'm so jealous of all of your gifts..

Wow! What a large and/or generous family you must have! Lovely to see the Persephones in there as well as the Gaskell books (I'm just starting the Uglow biography myself). A very merry Christmas indeed!

Oooh, i'm jealous! Most of my Christmas gifts were housewarming things for my new apartment. But i did receive a Persephone subscription from my mom. She included the receipt (with a list of all the books I'll be getting), and it's taking all of my effort not to look at that list, since i want to be surprised! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

No books for me, but I did get a gift card from hubby. That was awfully nice of him, considering the fact that he's instructed me to empty two cabinets full of books by the end of the year. Ahem. Not happening, honey.

Jenny: Fine is a neuroscientist, and the book debunks all the supposed insurmountable brain differences that makes women better fitted to cooking and ironing and men to shooting stuff, or something :P I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot of fun with it.

How are you ever going to decide what to read first?!! Of course I'm guessing you won't be able to take most of these lovely books with you, will you? Perhaps you can box them up and mail them to yourself before you head back. :P
